My random thoughts…brought to you once a week!

  • Is there anyone who has had a better acting turnaround than Jason Bateman? Maybe John Travolta, but after his new found success, he did a quick swoon back into badness.  Bateman is good in just about everything he does.  I can even look past Extract.  He was great in Up in the Air.
  • Why do we look at our snot after we blow our noses?  Is it the same reason why Dutch Ovens are so popular?  Did I just lose readers?
  • Honest to goodness on this one.  I saw a 400-lb, shirtless, extremely hairy man mowing his lawn the other day.  I know what you’re thinking…simply astounding!  It’s still so warm in Houston that you can mow your lawn shirtless.  Just astounding!
  • My favorite thing to make on Thanksgiving is dressing.  There’s literally a 3-day period of each year that I live on dressing.
  • I went to Heights West again last night (Houston readers).  Just great people and great food.  I can’t imagine duck tasting better.
  • If you checked out the fan page, you know I’m doing a Mighty Rib Crawl.  Let me know if you want in—keeping it small because the places are small.
  • Congrats to my school UTSA for not only getting a football team, but actually jumping straight to a conference.  I know the WAC basically sucks, but it’s still football, and it will be nice to finally root for my own team.
  • Pet Peeve: I can’t stand people eating in a quiet room and that room isn’t a dining room.  I know, I’m weird.  But the sound of eating disgusts me.  Have you ever really listened to someone eat cereal?  It’s unbearable.
  • Happy Thanksgiving!

People look at their snot for the same reason we look at the toilet paper after wiping. Personally, I think it’s because we’re all proud of what our bodies can produce. It’s like ” Hey! Look what I did! Yay for me!”

Is that weird?

The blog has officially taken a turn for the worse.

My Randomness…I’ll trade the 400 lb. shirtless guy for my old, scrawny neighbor who mows in his Speedo. I make the best dressing in the world. I never have eaten a bowl of cereal nor a PBJ sandwich in my life.
I’m loving TheMightyRib!

Ugh. You are so right about the sound of someone eating cereal. And when they happen to eat their cereal with a serving spoon, slurping is added to the mix making it tens time worse. And I love the Jason Bateman comeback, too.

Jason Bateman in Dodge Ball is one of the best characters of all-time.

I literally hate my wife the five minutes, twice a month she spends eating cereal. Other than that, she’s a delightful person.

I like to eat cereal while mowing my lawn with my shirt off as I look at my snot after blowing my nose…

Cornbread dressing, with or with out raisins?

Apples are my cereal. There is nothing worse than sitting in your cube on a nice quiet afternoon only to have to silence broken by some j-hole consuming an entire apple. Take your crunchy to the breakroom.

Chris, excellent call on the apples. That is one of the most annoying sounds imaginable.

Mike, you must have a riding lawnmower to pull off such an act.
